"After studying at Cambridge and Columbia and a stint as senior editor of a newsletter on the health effects of electromagnetic radiation, Matthew Connelly spent the last decade building bridges between U.S. and international history, history and related disciplines, and academia and policy analysis. He has published articles in journals ranging from the Revue franaise d'Histoire d'Outre-mer to The American Historical Review to The International Journal of Middle East Studies as well as a book published by Oxford University Press. After arriving at the University of Michigan, he worked to encourage interdisciplinary research and teaching, including courses on race and ethnicity in international relations. He has contributed to policy discussions by training masters students in foreign policy analysis, delivering talks at the Army War College and the Woodrow Wilson Center, and publishing in such venues as The Atlantic Monthly and The National Interest."
